Two new locally owned shops opening in Brookside

Brookside will soon be home to another locally owned women’s clothing boutique, as well as a locally owned tea and sweet shop.

▪ Lady Bye will sell apparel, accessories, home accessories and bath and body products. It is taking the former Shopgirls space at 6245 Brookside Plaza and plans to open Thursday. Lady Bye’s wares will be inspired by the “iconic images of fashionable famous women including Princess Diana and Jackie Kennedy.”

“They have that classic goodbye wave that is so feminine and so strong and we want to embody that here,” said owner Abby Roen Flores.
